SCHEDULED PICK UP AND DELIVERY. WALK-IN BY APPOINTMENT. Next door at Stars we're stocked with SUCCULENTS, HOUSEPLANTS & other goodies for plant & flower lovers.
Somewhere along the line I seem to have gotten a bit stuck. When I switched to studio model during Covid it was so nice to 'try' to buy only the flowers I needed for the orders I had and work on them uninterrupted when I wanted to work on them. It does seem a shame to not be using the storefront for retail while at the same time the last thing I want to be getting into, especially right now, is retail... A little while ago I was pruning back the huge amount of dead growth of my once epic volunteer wild rose. She was so glorious in years past and this year there is so little growth, completely laid...
Happy pride month! I cannot believe it's already June! If you haven't had a chance to check out the bloom tour installations you've still got a little time. This week on Wednesday I dropped off a refresh of the large arrangement I did for the @theskeletonkeyodditorium and I will be doing the same thing this Wednesday for the last weekend of bloom tour. All the installations will be up until at least the 8th so get downtown to see them while you still can! It's a great excuse to downtown and a way to kick off rose festival. If you haven't been to The skeleton key I can't recommend it highly enough; they've got all sorts of fantastic historical oddities...
Well, it happened again, time has gotten away from me, but, I have to talk a little bit about the installation I got to create for the lovely folks over @theskeletonkeyodditorium. Of course there were many changes made mid process; projects like this are often more improv than advance planning, at least for me. I really have to see how things are coming together and often switch things up mid-stream. Part of what I created proved too heavy to hang safely and in a genius move I decided to hang the heads and appendages BEFORE arranging the flowers into them . All in all I'm happy with how it came out, of course I wish I had more time/budget to...
I took this day of rest thing to heart and spent the weekend resting as much as I could make myself. Less than one week until Mother's Day! This year I'm teaming up with Jaymie, aka @bloommonger to bring back the bucket shop. While we strongly encourage you to pre-order before Tuesday May 6th, she will be rocking wrapped bouquets for walk-ins on both Saturday and Sunday May 10&11 from 10-2. Wrapped bouquet pre-orders close on Tuesday May 6th and I will only be taking orders until my schedule is full so get your orders in ASAP if you want to BE SURE we will have flowers with your Mama's name on them. If you want to make an extra...
It's Sunday so I'm adding a blog post. Cannot believe another week has flown by and we are now closing in on mother's day! This year I'm collaborating with Jaymie aka bloommonger to have wrapped bouquets and stems for sale in the shop in addition to the pick up and delivery arrangements we always have available. I'm so excited to have a partner in this especially as things feel especially scary this year. I don't know but to be honest I'm low key terrified all the time right now. It hardly seems a time to be concerned with making pretty flowers but I keep trying to remind myself that the world needs art, beauty and creativity now more than ever....
